Connecting with families and creating lifelong relationships with thembrings me so much joy.I love creating a joyful, fun, safe environment for kids and their families, so children learn healthy habits and want to go to the dentist when they are adults.

Having the ability to impact each childs life in a positive way, nurturing and supporting them as they become a young adult, and ensuring they are excited and motivatedto take care of their smile, is the most rewarding experience.

I am a lifelong learner:constantly seeking to expand and strengthen my knowledge and skills in order to provide the best care for each patient. Through continuing postgraduate education courses, I stay uptodate on the latest research, methodologies, and technologies.

Raised in Clarksburg, West Virginia, I have lived in Colorado since 2008. I moved here for my Pediatric Dental Specialty Residency at Children's Hospital Colorado and fell in love with Colorado.I have lived with my family in North Thornton since 2011. Cody, my husband, and I have two young children: son, Jaren Kumar and daughter, Isla Hope. My time with them is treasured, whether were off for an adventure in the mountains, enjoying a game night, hanging out at home with friends, or volunteering at my children's school.

Boardcertified pediatric dentists undergo two years of additional residency training after dental school to workexclusively with children under the mentorship of other experienced pediatric dentists. Thentheyundergo a series of rigorous exams to complete the process. Pediatric dentists dedicate their practice to the specific dental and behavioral needs of children and adolescents.

A little ones first dental experiences influence his or her thoughts about oral healthcare for the rest of their life. It is essential for every visit to be fun, gentle, and worry-free. This teaches children that seeing the dentist is an enjoyable part of life and they graduate to a general dentist with a positive attitude.

We allow kids to be kids! Rather than expecting children to act like little adults, we encourage them to be themselves and seek to meet them on their terms. Some kids are apprehensive of new situations, so we are calm and encouraging, and we proceedat a slow pace. Other children are excited and full of questions when introduced to a new space; for those kids, we actively engage and happily answer their questions. Each child is unique, so we learn who they are and what they need to feel safe in the office.

We partner with parents and caregivers! It takes all of us, working together, to develop and maintain a little ones healthy smile and good dental hygiene habits. We work closely with families to find approaches that fit their situation, never shaming or lecturing; instead, we empower families!

We are child- and family-friendly! We welcome parents to accompany their youngsterinto the treatment area and offer an infant room for lap exams, too.Dr. Lisa will never restrain a child for treatment and offers both nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and in-office general anesthesia, provided by board-certified dental anesthesiologists, when needed.

We are ethical, approachable, and local! Dr. Lisa will never recommend a procedure she would not want for her child and always clearly explains recommendations and options. She and our staff are glad to answer questions about treatments, financials, scheduling, and any concerns a parent might have. We want everyone to have a thorough understanding of treatment and be able to make informed decisions about care.

Hope Pediatric Dentistry offers a FREE initial dental visit to children age 2 and under called Free Before Three. This gives the family an opportunity to get to know Dr. Lisa and the practice, for children to become comfortable with visiting the dentist, and for parents to learn early oral hygiene information.
